Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks: Bel Gioioso Sliced Fresh Mozzarella

Make Caprese Salad prep a little easier with this mozzarella that comes already sliced!

I love fresh mozzarella, especially in the summer when it pairs so perfectly with fresh tomatoes and fresh basil in different takes on Caprese Salad. For years the only thing I didn’t like about this creamy summer cheese was how hard it was to slice. Then sometime in the last couple of years I bought a two pack of Bel Gioioso Fresh Mozzarella (from Costco) and when I got it home I noticed the word “Sliced” on the package. I guess it doesn’t take too much to get me excited, because I was thrilled about discovering the pre-sliced mozzarella! This year I’ve bought this sliced fresh mozzarella over and over and I decided it’s time to officially give it the nod as one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks, the series of posts where I spotlight my favorite products.

I’ve also been a long time fan of the Fresh Mozzarella Pearls made by the same company, but this summer they didn’t show up at my Costco as they had in the past. However, having these pre-cut slices made it super easy to cut the mozzarella into cubes, to use in place of the pearls. This has been a fresh mozzarella summer for me, and I’m hoping for good tomatoes for a few more weeks so I can use the last two packages of sliced fresh mozzarella I have in the fridge. And fresh mozzarella like this has only 5 grams of fat per ounce, making a delicious and diet-friendly treat. Here are some ideas for how to use this favorite product of mine:

I haven't tried this brand, only Galbani. When it says sliced (as Galbani does too), is it actually capable of being pulled apart? I found Galbani pre-sliced to certainly have been sliced, but it has since rejoined and cannot be separated without tearing, meaning you have to slice it anyway, with the odd piece still separating, making it a nice idea but a mess of odd shaped pieces.Does the Giogioso slicing actually work?
